Badder infection in toddler

Thank you very much for your time! I will do the best I can to recall the details. I have been caring for my ill mother and my memory is rapidly slipping do to stress.

You asked:
is this first time occurred? if not please explain --treatment used ?and when (date)?

This is the first time to my knowledge that she has had a bladder infection.

what vaccinations have?when (dates)?

She has had the traditional vaccines for her age in the US, I am relatively new to the homeopathy approach. She got the Hepatitis B, Hib, DTaP, IPV and PVC, at 2 and 6 months I believe as well as MMR and another round of Hib at 12 months,

what other illnesses child have had in health history?when(dates)?tretaments used?please explainthis thoroughly

She was born with thrush and we have battled that and have never successfully cleared it up, that is really why I don’t want to give her antibiotics. She had Nystatin at 2 months followed by flagel. Then again at 4 months. I also took Flagel because I got the infection in my breasts. I took Caprycilic acid or coconut oil capsules and saw better results than with the flagel and with no side effects for both of us. I put the antifungal cream on my nipples in between feedings. We live in a very old and mold prone house and when it’s the rainy season that seems to be when we have the hardest time, we have both had is in varying degrees for the last two months, as she is still nursing and we have had practically non stop rain for 3 months.

She has had colds, the first at about 6 months nothing too serious. She also had a bad cold with an ear infection at around 9 months and took antibiotics for it. The next one I treated with the homeopathic ear tabs and so she didn’t take antibiotics for that and that was at about 12 months. It seems she gets at least one a month now. Her big brother started kindergarten this year and has brought something home with him regularly! The trush drives her quest for sugar, I have never known I child who can identify sweet things like this child. I have a hard time getting her to eat good food. She is so different in this respect than my son. He loves sweets but also loves vegetables and good food. She is a very good natured child but will become very upset if denied something she perceives as sweet, her daddy is a total sucker for this and so she usually gets what she wants from him. I have offered her yogurt as an alternative. But struggle each meal to get something good in her.

has her energy changed since this started?less active/animated?

She currently has a cold and so it’s hard to tell if her crankiness is due to that or the bladder infection. She has her usual level of energy though.

I hope this is what you need, let me know if I can provide more details and thank you again very much!

Thank you again for your response. You asked:

ok--born with thrush is indicative that mother's stae of wel being was compromised--

what is mother's exact stateof health?

Well, I am not sick to my knowledge. I do feel run down most days and struggle to a degree from post partum depression but we have had so much rain with no sun it could just be that. I get a bad cold about once a year. I have gotten the flu shot the last two years of my life but never before that. I have not ever had a female yeast infection that I know of and never had a bladder infection. I have had clogged milk ducts with my daughter on two occasions but never with my son. I had a pre-cancerous growth removed from my back a couple of years ago. I had my appendix out about 8 years ago. And a benign tumor in sinus when I was 8 years old. Other than that nothing eventful.

whatmes she using?

I do use the yam cream or natural progesterone for part of my cycle and have used it since my son was born 5 ½ years ago. I took the flagel as I stated earlier and 10 years ago I was on birth control pills for 5 years. I have taken antibiotics a few time in my life for strep throat, ear infections and the like but no other meds.

what tretaments mother use during pregnancy?what illness mother have during his time?please explain

You should know, that while I was pregnant with my daughter I consumed large amounts of brewer’s yeast due to it’s health benefits as well as after she was born until it occurred to me there might be a connection between the thrush and the brewer’s yeast! Anyway, I had a completely trouble free pregnancy and delivery. My sister in law gave me some homeopathic remedies a few weeks before delivery, it was quick and painless. I didn’t take any meds for either of my deliveries.


what %of diet is breastmilk fo child?what is other food/sdrinks child have encorporatd in diet?

My daughter nurses in the morning when she wakes up, at nap time, a late afternoon nip and then at bedtime, and still once in the middle of the night, more if she is sick. Yes, I know that’s a lot! As for other foods, she will eat a very small amount of anything we are eating. But she is a finicky eater. She likes oatmeal, beans, rice, fish, chicken, popcorn, potatoes, bread, yogurt, pretzels, cheese, crackers, orange and apple juice. She won’t drink milk, soy or cow. But as I said she is driven by sugar cravings, so while she’ll eat a little of good food, she’ll spend a large amount of time trying to get treats. I have to change how we handle this since my son will eat a completely balanced meal with grains, veggies, and a small portion of protein so I don’t mind that he has a sweet so we have a goodie bowl on top of the refrigerator, that’s the problem she knows what’s in there!

what i smother's exact dietary intake?all fod/drinks/sncks --everything used..

Okay, as I sat down to write this I realize my contribution to this too! I also have a sweet tooth. I have overcome a serious sweet coffee addiction switching instead to green tea sweetened with maple syrup which is said to be an antifungal. I didn’t have coffee during pregnancy though or the first three months of her life but I did have one cup every morning until she was about a year old. Every once in a while I slip and get some out as a treat. Also, since having my son my love of vegetables has diminished and I have to force myself to eat them even though I make everyone else eat them! I used to eat mainly veggies and rice but somehow my chemistry changed and I don’t eat as well. I eat a lot of bread, pasta, chicken, cheese, beans, rice, crackers, occasional beef, fish, no milk or yogurt, I don‘t like them but I do like ice cream, this is new since my son. I too need a sweet after dinner and that will be a candy or cookie, something of that sort. I love chocolate when I am near my cycle, in fact I must have it! I drink primarily water and tea, but I also have a soda, yikes, I know, at least three times a week. I also have a glass of wine at least three times a week. As I write this, I am thinking how am I going to get rid of my own sugar based diet, ugh! Any homeopathy to break a sweet tooth? Anyway, thank you for taking the time to advise. If you need more detail I will happily respond.

Thank you, you wrote:

when last time treated for strep throat ;ear infection..etc?

Strep was probably 18 years ago and the ear infections were when I was little. I didn’t know how much detail you wanted! These probably aren’t contributing to the current situation.

candida feeds off all sugars--as in maple syrup--sweet flavor is guide to avoid as is leavened breads--sugared products..

How do I break the cycle of craving?

dont use proes gel while this part of child's life--breast feeding...

Okay.

if it affects you it effects breast milk--if effects breasst milk--then child is affected...

As to the progesterone cream, what ill effects would it have for my daughter? I thought it was safe to use?

concerning child--frequency of stool/urination?characteristics?

She generally has a bowel movement once a day but she can go a day or two. She has not suffered from any straining at all. They are soft, but vary in degree of sour smelliness sometimes it burns my nose not with stinkiness but with a pungency, if that makes sense. Occasionally she has a red bottom where ever the poop has touched which I have assumed is due to an irritation or allergy to what she is eating? She urinates every hour or two and it has always been uneventful until now. Now she tells me every time by grabbing her diaper and saying owie as I mentioned.

I look forward to your reply, thank you. She will be up soon so if my response slows down that will be why but I am very excited by your kind help!

Thank you John. I will start tomorrow. I need to get that type of yogurt and probiotic. I am excited because I have Hepar in that dose in my box. What will it do for us? How long do I take it?

Also, do you by chance have a warm beverage suggestion to replace my morning tea? I am anxious about giving up everything at once. Also, can I have carbonated water? And you mention no other meds/remedies/cremes/treaments..ect. What about Arnica for injuries? The baby still falls from time to time and I use it with great success, can I still use it? I have the tabs and a creme.

Thank you for your direction!

Thanks, John. Clear. I will report back on progress. Warm regards.

John,help! No change in the baby at all, other than grouchiness when denied what she wants. I took the remedy yesterday morning and followed your directions about my diet.

I had to take a nap when the baby napped and have not been able to lose this extreme fatigue. Plus I feel very depressed, weepy, and my muscles are sore and stiff. I have cut out sugar and coffee before without this reaction, especially this fast. Is the remedy producing these results and if so why? I have so much to do and can't get the energy to do any of it. This is the first sunny day in a long time and I am not even able to enjoy it.

Please advise! Thank you.

I'm not sure I understand.

Well, I have had battles with depression on and off for years, especially since having my 1st child. I tend to have grouchiness before my cycle and sadness after it, some months worse than others. I have social phobia as well that has increased since having kids. I can't remember the last time it was as intense as yesterday. And the fatigue was severe. I did experience a fatigue like that when I was on birth control pills which was 16 years ago.

I want you to know that I had to take two cups of green tea unsweetened in order to get the things done I had to do today. I am sorry to slip but it made me feel so much better.

I was anxious about the baby and took her to our allopath and she did have blood and white bloods cells in her urine when they did a stick test on her sample in the office, they sent the sample to the lab and will hopefully get the results on a culture tomorrow. I don't want her bladder infection to turn into a kidney infection due to my letting it go to long and I haven't got any remedy for her.

John, thank you for the time you have spent with us, if you have any insights they would be appreciated!

As I mentioned early on she has a cold, well it seems refreshed. Her mucus was thicker now it is thinner like at the beginning. And she has been restless at night, waking up every couple of hours wanting to nurse. No bowel movement yet so no report there. In fact neither have I and that not typical. I have not been able to get to the health food store to get alternatives
to bread products so we are getting thin on ideas but hopefully we can get out. By the way, are nuts okay?

When I was at the doctor, she checked her ears and the right ear had fluid in it but no sign of infection. She is still saying owie every time she urinates. That's why I took her to have the test. As what I am doing to help seems it will take some time to impact her completely.

Thanks again for your efforts on our behalf!

The baby had two bowel movements. Not quite as pungent but that element does come and go in it's degree. I did also, slightly more dense than usual but nothing significant. I will try to forgo the tea in the morning as you advise. My sugar craving has been managable but I noticed that stress is definitely a trigger. I almost went off twice due to it.

Thank you for your advice, I will keep you posted.

Hello John, thanks for the reply. I do not have Sulpher in that dose in my kit so I will have to start tomorrow with your directions.

You also asked: "how much discoloration on the outer skin area?inner skin area?"

I apologize but I am not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the diaper area? She has a rash this morning, covering both front and back, I will wait to see if it is just regular diaper rash or something else. I didn't get a call from the lab so no word on her sample. But I don't see any discoloration at all. Is that what you mean? Please let me know. We will hold steady with the current pattern until I get the Sulpher later today to try tommorrow morning. Thank you!

Sorry for the delay we were away all day. The diaper rash is new just since Friday evening. I wondered if she was having a reaction to the adhesive on the collection system the used? She is very irritated, scratching it and wimpering. It is little bumps similar to diaper rash so it may just be that, I am uncertain. Nothing before this, this is new.

Her appetite was dimished the day I took the Hepar, since then it has returned to normal. She does seem more thirsty.

An important thing to note and I hope you can address this, is that my milk production is reduced by at least 50%. What is causing this? I thought I was eating better and you'd think it would have the opposite effect. She nurses and I am quickly out and don't seem to be getting a second letdown at all. When I first gave birth to both my children I had a hard time producing milk and had to take Fennugreek and Blessed Thistle to build it up. So I have a bit of a worry about losing my milk even though she is older. Today I felt great by the way.

I have sulphur in 6x. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
